Mia’s POV I stared at him, my body tense, my heart slamming against my ribs. This had to be some kind of mistake. A trick. A lie. But his face… It was mine. Not just a resemblance. Not just similar features. Identical. I forced myself to breathe, to think. My hands curled into fists at my sides as I tried to make sense of it. "You’re lying," I forced out, my voice uneven. Lucas—the real one—didn’t flinch. His gaze stayed on me, steady, unreadable. "I wish I was." A bitter laugh escaped me. "That’s impossible. I don’t have a twin." His jaw tensed. "That’s what I thought too." I shook my head, my stomach twisting. "No. My mother—she never—" "She never told you," he cut in, voice firm. "She never told me either." I swallowed hard, my thoughts a tangled mess. This can’t be true.
